Once Upon A Time- Clothing Security

When I first began my retail career many years ago, I was introduced to the idea of clothing security in the shoe department. As I walked through the stock room, you could see the carnage of old clothing security tags strewn about; missing pieces, blue ink splatter on the ground. It was not a pretty sight. Even worse, the reason we were there to begin with was from the number of customer complaints because the Checkpoint tags had been put on the shoes with the bulky part on the inside. Our customers could not try the shoes on without the tags being removed first. This was not the deterrent our store was looking for. This was not supposed to be a deterrent to our paying customers.

Since that day, security tags on clothes have become more refined, and more user friendly. Security tags on clothes are no longer limited to bulky ink tags. They can be a discreet sticker placed on the inside of a wallet or on the back of a jewelry card. These soft tags are a highly effective form of clothing security, as they will still set the alarms off at the doors. The advantage of this type of clothing alarm is that it does not distract from the visual display of smaller items, ultimately keeping the items accessible to customers.
